MR Car Design is a tuner based in Erftstadt which is a town 20 km east of Cologne in Germany. On top of being an exhaust specialist they have also tuned a number of cars for customers and are now turning their attention to the Golf 6 GTI. Equipped with KW-thread-sport suspension, the car now sits 50 mm lower in the front and 40 mm lower at the rear.
Oxigin 14 wheels with sizes 8.5×19 and 9.5×19 are fitted. They roll on 225/35-19 tyres. MR Car Design also took care of stopping power by using a Stoptech high performance brake system with 4-piston calipers and slotted brake discs, as well as a brake caliper air vent plug. A custom sport exhaust system is fitted. Optionally buyers can get a downpipe with a sport catalytic converter.
The engine has been optimised using MRCD software. Peak power goes from 155 kW to 191 kW. At the same time torque improves from 280 N.m to 380 N.m. Thanks to the GTI’s XDS traction system, the FWD car goes from zero to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and achieves a 263 km/h top speed. The tuner reckons it is quite a drivable car even on an everyday basis and it returns a good average fuel consumption figure.
